The Time Has Come

I assume .45 is the only caliber you're looking at? 1911 but check out a bobtail grip.

If I intend on getting a 1911 over the Sig, yes, I want it to be chambered in .45.

I wasn't suggesting a 1911 in another caliber, I was curious if you were open to other guns that aren't offered in .45.

Make it three votes for the CZ75.

How do you guys feel about resale value on these two firearms? Would the Sig retain it's value better and for longer?

No comprendo. Resale? Huh?

Only halfway kidding. That only enters the equation if the gun is definitely or likely to be future fodder, and in that case there's no need to fret over the choice. You only spend time stressing over the choice of a permanent partner, and then you don't give a rodent's sphincter about this concept of 'resale'...

Having said all of that, the 1911 is the EASY winner. And if you happen upon another grand tomorrow, THEN you can get...

ANOTHER 1911. 1911 is ALWAYS the right choice. Or you could then sell/trade the 1911 and your newly found money for a BETTER 1911, and keep doing that until you have a stable full of Browns, Nighthawks, Wilsons, Volkmanns, etc.

To reiterate the obvious and most important point: 1911. There IS no substitute.

Too many handguns----so little time.

Huh? What does this mean, "too many handguns"? Are you my wife in disguise, stalking me on the interwebz?

My choice in 1911's, Kimber Stainless Raptor...

 

[snowrs]

I was in a similar situation awhile ago. My choices were between a polymer pistol and a 1911. I chose the polymer first. I now own 3 1911's and the XDm is on the chopping block. The 1911's just feel better, have many more customization options, and are a blast to shoot.

The CZ 75 is a czexy way to go!

Or you could get a deal on two used Glocks. One for each hand.

 

[sparkyfender]

Sig 226 would be my choice.

Although the Springfield is nice, indeed.

I was asking more or less about resale, in case a financial hardship comes along. I like your antics though

 

[watkins1988]

I would have to go with the Sig. For some reason thats what im into right now lol.

 

[Rob377]

If you don't already own a 1911, that is the way to go, IMO. You will never regret getting a 1911 before the Sig.

AS someone who has owned both, this is 100% true.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Sooner or later you're going to have to buy a 1911. It might as well be today.

The same can be true for the Sig...i'm torn

 

[Mosinguy]

You could just get 10 Jennings .25 autos.

 

[mammynun]

Get a Sig P220. You keep the .45ACP part and get a Sig.
